How To Automatically Promote Top-Performing Affiliates in Tekmatix

Keeping affiliates motivated is crucial to building a thriving program. One powerful way to do this is by automatically upgrading high-performing affiliates to better campaigns with higher rewards — no manual tracking required.

With Tekmatix's Level Up to Another Campaign feature, you can streamline promotions based on customer conversions or revenue milestones. Let’s break it down.

What Is “Leveling Up” in Tekmatix?

Leveling up is when an affiliate is automatically moved from one campaign (e.g., a Starter campaign) to another (e.g., a VIP campaign) once they hit a specific performance goal.

This is a great way to:

• Reward consistent performers

• Encourage competition

• Eliminate the need for manual campaign reassignment
  

You can level up affiliates based on:

• Number of customers acquired

• Total revenue generated
  

Good to Know:
Level ups are supported across Website, Store, and Funnel campaigns.
However, External Website campaigns can only level up to other External Website campaigns.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Affiliate Level Up in Tekmatix

Step 1: Open the Affiliate Manager

Go to your Affiliate Manager > Campaigns tab.

Step 2: Create or Edit a Campaign

Click + Create Campaign or edit an existing one where you'd like affiliates to start (e.g., Starter Campaign).

Step 3: Choose a Source Type

Pick between Website, Store, or Funnel depending on where the campaign applies.

Step 4: Set the Default Commission

On the Commission step, define what affiliates will initially earn before they level up.

Step 5: Enable Level Up

Scroll to the “Level Up to Another Campaign” section and click to activate.

Step 6: Select Target Campaign

Choose the campaign you want to promote affiliates to (e.g., VIP Campaign with higher commissions).

Step 7: Set the Level-Up Goal

Pick one of the following performance-based goals:

• Customer-based: Level up when the affiliate gains X number of customers
  

• Revenue-based: Level up when the affiliate generates $X in sales

Step 8: Decide What Happens to Existing Customers

• Keep them in the current campaign
  

• Move them to the new campaign (great for ongoing commission tracking consistency)
  

Step 9: Finalize and Publish

Complete the rest of your campaign setup and click Publish.

Sample Scenario: Tiered Affiliate Rewards

Let’s say you run an affiliate program with two tiers:

You want affiliates to graduate to the VIP tier when they hit 50 customers. Here's how to set that up:

• In your Starter Campaign, go to Level Up to Another Campaign
  

• Select VIP Campaign as the destination
  

• Set the goal to “Level up when affiliate gets 50 customers”
  

• Choose to move existing customers if you want to consolidate tracking
  

This way, your affiliate program rewards success without any manual lifting!
